Atheist Group Attack Religious Freedom Again (bible, quote, faith, Biblical)

[jeffbase40]

Here we go again with the FFRF twisting the Constitution to somehow mean that if you work in public office, you must check your faith at the door. Absolutely no signs of your beliefs. So now this police officer was forced to remove a simple decal from his vehicle that listed a verse in the Bible.

A Kansas police department has caved to pressure from the nation's largest atheist organization to remove a biblical decal from one of its patrol vehicles.

Last month, the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation was prompted by a complaint from an anonymous resident and sent a demand letter to Doug Murphy, the police chief of Harper, Kansas, demanding that his department remove a decal placed on one of the municipality-owned patrol trucks.

Atheist Group Threatens Lawsuit Over Romans 13:4 Bible Verse Decal

The ironic thing is to a non-Christian, Romans 13:4 should just be meaningless words. A person actually has to go look up the chapter and verse in the Bible to found out the message.

Even then, I don't see this as any violation of the Establishment Clause. A decal that said Christianity is the official religion of the Harper police dept. If I ever need services of a police officer, fireman or EMS, the last thought I am going to have is gee, I hope that person is a Christian. The only concern should be that they have proper training and provide appropriate care and assistance to the needed situation. You know, doing their job.

There's already a thread about this.

But good job FFRF.

You don't see it as a violation of the Establishment Clause for a city police department to have an official religion? Lol.

Once again, the Freedom From Religion Foundation forces removal of religious symbolism

It usually seems to work oout better if all the comments are in one thread.
